About MPI für Kohlenforschung

The Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, which was established almost 100 years ago, is one of the oldest institutes of the Max Planck Society. The Institute’s research, which is carried out by over 300 employees, focuses on the investigation of energy-efficient and resourcesaving chemical conversion processes. Catalysis in all of its aspects is central to its work.
